OH - look it up online, there's bound to be a guide to taping the foot to support the appropriate bit.

Blister's - sounds like a nice family celebration.

Foggy start to the day here too, but forecast to be nice later, maybe I'll manage a long walk with Grace again this afternoon - shan't be doing much else. Peak flow slightly better than yesterday at 380 but feel like I did ten rounds with an angry Frank Bruno last night. These things are sent to try us.

NZC: nooooo! don't post pictures of such beautiful but distant locations. I have consciously skipped several adverts for jobs in NZ and OZ, because I want to be a bit closer to my family at this moment (Newark-Brussels will be 6hrs with a good tail wind). It reminds me of some bits of Ohahu, Hawaii- volcanic stuff, too?

I must change from saying "I am not a morning runner" to "I don't feel like I am a morning runner". At 7am I ran as fast as I did last week a few hours and a coffee later. Usually a 7am start gives snails with a zimmerframe a good chance of overtaking me; today's run was not easy, but I did not feel like dying quietly by the roadside either.

Kit update: I quite like my new Brooks Glycerine, they are light and nimble, even with the orthotics. Neutral shoes were not an option before orthotics, so it's all new to me. And like any good woman, I *heart* shoes

NZC: Jealous . I was fortunate enough to spend a good chunk of time in NZ and completely fell in love with the place. Waiheke remains my favourite to date.

LMH: sorry to read about your ongoing woes

Here's a pic of my route - can't compete with NZ I'm afraid.

I live by the Elbe river and the green bit is a flood defense dyke. So sometimes I run on the grass, sometimes down by the river (which can't be seen in this pic, but it's behind the trees) or sometimes to the left of the dyke where there is a pavement. Great thing about the pavement: it has markers every 100m, brilliant for speedwork. what: 15 mileswhy: MLRlast hard: bits of today - cardio is fine; legs are trashed; mileage is catching up with melast rest: 25/2lyrics: yes

Unfortunately having a bath, baking a cake and some light dusting wiped me out today and I fell asleep on the sofa this afternoon! Managed a little walk with Grace when I woke up - but only around a mile. Whilst my cough seems little better this virus has obviously taken more out of me than I thought.

chickadeee - the legs will catch up, not long to go now. Nice to have some open space and different surfaces to run on like that. Why is the path marked at 100m intervals?

Beautiful spring weather here...hope you were able to take advantage 7D. Must speak to you about routes now that you have moved! It is warmer than it was for most of last August here in the North-west! Rain tomorrow, apparently.

I had a brisk 3k stroll...wish I had had a camera to post a view or two. When I'm older, perhaps.

Will either go for another walk this evening or will have a very gentle jog: want to test things before I see the QofP tomorrow.

Just spotted your post, 7D: I was working in Partington this morning so had the joys of driving along the roads that you ran on!

Just discovered a date mix up and have half mara at Longleat on Sunday and it's a 09.00 start. Ooops. Gentle jog as don't want to upset the quacks next weekLMH, hope you feel better soon. Good news is I've surpassed fundraising needed for VLM for Macmillan, bad news is I've got to work out a strategy now for doing it!Great pics but how do you upload guys?AH...hope all goes well at a stretch tomorrow.DD...what makes the difference in choosing LEJOG v JOGLE?

Back from great weekend in UK. Dress fitting went well, only minor adjustments needed (and not due to weight, rather due to height!). Hen party went well so all the planing was worth it. Managed 2 runs, one of which included adding a new parkrun to my repitoir (and a decent time even though it was in the middle of a 6 miler).

What: easy 6 milerWhy: the sun was shining for the 1st time in months so left work early to make the most of it (10C today, meant to be -10 by next week, sigh).Last hard: the start of that runLyrics: nope.

Ohh some nice pics on here recently. I often wonder where other people are running. Wabo thought of you the other day as drove past a sign for Chingfold (I think that's the name of the place, it was wherever you run near that sounds like that anyway).

Rght off to bed, plane delays meant I got home at 3 am on Monday, so some serious catching up to do!

Scrounged some zinc oxide tape from our podiatrist this morning and put a couple of supportive straps across my fore foot. Seems to be helping although I've given badminton a miss tonight. Wouldn't be too concerned about it if it weren't for Loch Katrine on Sunday.
